Pitt fans, it may be time soon to start humming bars of “Hail to Pitt” and “Sweet Caroline,” even during the Pirate games.
We could refer to the new coaches as the “RR-crew,” which would refer to their “Relentless Recruiting.” Coaches Rob Harley, Tim Salem, Andre Powell, and Tom Sims have been tweeting about the many recruitment stops they are making. Many more offers have been made recently to recruits. It seems as if a new offer is made almost daily.
How might this affect the future of Pitt football? The more offers, the better the chances of landing a recruit.
And they are not just haphazardly making these offers, but giving them to very talented and strong character individuals.
Recall that Coach Paul Chryst gained most of his commitments at summer camps, when he and the recruits met person-to-person. With the RR-crew going full tilt this spring, there is a possibility that summer camps may again be a source of commits, perhaps more so.
To this point, included in with the high school recruits, there are junior college players being recruited, that could fill spots that are currently considered weak links, for instance, the defensive line, and also a complement to Tyler Boyd’s speed and unbelievable catches at wide receiver, to prevent a defense from double-teaming him.
Coach Pat Narduzzi continues to be upbeat about the program and communication between Pitt football coach and fans is likely at an all-time high. At this point, Pitt blog commenters rarely express any negativity, which is a sign that they believe in the manner in which Coach Narduzzi is running the program and are anticipating a positive outcome.
H2P!!
